Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Introduction -- Part 1: Empowering Racial Minorities: Legal Measures, Grassroots Mobilisation and Political Strategies -- 1 Empowering Minority Voters in the U.S. -- 2 From Representation by the Elite Few to the Mobilisation of the Masses -- 3 Mobilising Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Voters in the United Kingdom -- Part 2: Mobilising Women: Grassroots Action and Political Discourse -- 4 Mobilising Agrarian Men and Women in the Late Nineteenth Century -- 5 Women Speaking to Women? -- Part 3: Digital Mobilisation: Revolutionising Politics in the Twenty-first Century? -- 6 Digital Politics and Mobilisation in the UK -- 7 Mobilising the Right(‐wing) voters -- Part 4: When Grassroots and Party Mobilisation Interact: the Case of the Republican Party in the Twentieth Century -- 8 The Republican Minority and Voter Mobilisation -- List of contributors -- Index
Summary: This collective work offers a historical approach to the issue of voters’ mobilisation and, through case studies, aims to expand the fi eld’s research agenda by taking into account less familiar mobilising strategies from various groups or parties, both in Britain and the United States. Two different yet complementary approaches are used, one from the top down with political parties, the other from the bottom up with grassroots organisations, to analyze how these groups either (re-)connect citizens with politics or give birth to social movements which durably occupy and change the political landscape of the United States and Britain.
